DARROW:Correct. I am not sure if Commissioner -. SIRACUSA:Oh, if I heard the Director correctly, were now saying that five years, unless he doesnt find anything, and then automatically will be extended until he can. Is that what you were saying? YUEN:No, the maximum would befive years under this permit. If he found something in the meantime, he would have to relocate. We would give a year from the availability of the land in order to relocate. SPRINGER:So Condition 2 might be amended to read something to the effect that The life of the permit shall not exceed a period of five years from the effective date of this permit, and then some language indicating that should industrially-zoned property become available before that, the Applicant would try to secure it. YUEN:The Applicant would have one year from the availability of industrially-zonedlandtorelocate. SPRINGER:Thankyou.Commissioners,additionaldiscussion?Commissioner Graham? GRAHAM:Im concerned again about the practicality of such a thing. I mean, maybe the Planning Director knows Waimea better than I do, but I dont feel I could say, right now, theres no industrially-zoned land thats available. But I betcha if I went and chased around Waimea and found out whats zoned industrial and whats not, and whos doing what and whos doing not, I could come back with some things. And I could probably talk to the Applicant about them and the Applicant would say, Well, this is really not suitable for me because of this, that, and the other thing and it gets into a mess. And, so, I would prefer that we keep it clean at three years, unless the Director, you see, sees the situation differently than what Im depicting. YUEN:No, there really, we do know. We do know, weve been through this, there really isnt any vacant industrially-zoned land in Waimea that you can move an operation on to. There are zoned but not subdivided land out by Garys Automotive. Other than that, theres no vacant industrially-zoned, theres no vacant industrially-zoned land. The Garys Automotive area doesnt count as available because its not subdivided. And if we had an industrial subdivision in Waimea, we would know about it. MOOERS:There really isnt any other industrially-zoned land, not just vacant. The only industrially-zoned land in Waimea is that parcel out by Garys Automotive. GRAHAM:Well, pardon me for having put so much energy into this, and its largely due to me not getting into it till today. But if the Planning Director feels that is the situation in what hes saying, I can go along with that recommendation. 11
